I'll add though that I can understand why you're unsure. The R doesn't have any chrome work on it really and so the gloss black tends to blend in better with the colour scheme of the car. I'd stick with the wheels as they are though. Be confident!  :cool:

Thanks Penguin, TBH with the CK's on it feels like a different car, the car feels more alive, more responsive and like you have more grip etc.

What size talledegas have you got, and what's ya plans with them? I like the ck's, been looking at 19" this afternoon.

I've got 19" talladega's on the R, the CK's are also 19"
I'm going to defo keep the talladega's BUT may sell the CK's if they don't grow on me. :cry:

Put the CK's on today to see what they looked like, hmmm not sure TBH. :undecided:


I think they look really good; much better than black. I'd keep them on the car.  :cool:

Really nice car by the way. RB is a great colour. Enjoy.................

The wheels look superb on the R mate.

They'd look better on my GTI though, now sell them to me like you nearly did last year  :cry:

They feel a lot lighter than the Talladega's, the car drives, handles and feels a lot better with them on BUT looks wise i'm still not sure..

PLUS i got the car over 30mpg with them on!!   :laugh:

As much as I'd like to disagree so that I can buy those wheels, that colour and wheel combination looks superb.
